UPDATE: Bah. This doesnt work. Never mind me. For some reason when you click on the script it gets executed from a console, so the -t tests says true. Wheras if i launch a script from my editor it shows false, so I assumed the same would be true when double-clicking. I shouldnt have assumed..... :-(

Sure, use the -t filetest operation to test if STDIN is connected to a TTY. Try the following script (you might have to change where the log gets written to.) 

#!perl -l
open my $log,">>C:/tmp/log.log" or die $!;
my $term_type=-t STDIN ? "Terminal" : "Non Terminal";
print $log localtime(time)." $term_type";
print localtime(time)." $term_type";
